Meh...I dont really know who I'd like to meet. Hmmm... I see alot of people's profiles that have this section filled out with a laundry list of celebs that they will never, ever meet. People that are dead and famous. Sure, I have my personal heroes and everyone has a celebrity crush or two. Who wouldn't love to sit down, for a coffee with a historical figure? Or go out on a date with their favorite actor or actress? However, I dont consider myself quite deluded or delusional enough to think that meeting a celebrity through their Myspace page is in anyway feasible. So, what then? Friends? Real-life friends are hard enough to keep up with and manage relationships with. Life is hectic, work and daily adult responsiblities eat up endless hours of everyone's time. Fitting in a little private time for myself, which I find absolutely essential to my sanity, is a difficult thing to do, in the year 2008. Having a few good and true friends is all I can really ask for, let alone manage. And while I know it is entirely possible to meet new people online (I've played WoW for 3+ years.), I have no expectaions of finding many kindred spirits in the vastness of cyberspace. A relationship? Nah... After having a 10-year relationship and spending 3 years mending the heartbreak that it brought with it, I have finally started dating someone new. It's casual and loose enough to keep me safe and free yet serious enough to stay dedicated and monogamous... And that's all I really want or need, for the foreseeable future, to make me comfortable. I work with kids and while I wouldn't ever rule them out, they too are something I have little interest in, at the moment. So, I guess I'll just resort to the last bastion of cliched responses to this section: Cool people with similiar interests. Ugh, how pitiful is that? Lets try that again: People that don't suck, people that at least try to "get me", people that have something of interest to talk about or say, other artists and oddballs, mildly insane people, people that own cats and people that eat babies.MOVE ALL HTML CODES (IMAGES/WIDGETS/SLIDESHOWS/VIDEOS) BELOW THIS CODE
Music:
I listen to just about everything and I'll give anything a chance... From classical to punk, oldies to rap, hardcore to reggae. Lyrics are important to me but if its catchy and has a good hook, I'll listen. I do like disco. I do like 80's cheese. And yes, I do like jug band and lounge muzac. Country music, that real Brooks & Dunn/Line-Dancing-type shit, however; makes me want to take a trip to the tub with the toaster. I have a terribly short attention span, blame MTV and video games, and while I enjoy music and can listen for hours on end; I also need to have constant control of it. I will rarely listen to any song, even my favorites, in its entirety...It's an annoying habit/obsession, I know, but songs just happen to end 30 seconds to a minute earlier for me. I base what I listen to on how I feel at the moment and that can change from minute to minute. It also encompasses a range so varied and random, a list is impossible.
Movies:
I watch a lot of movies, probably too many for my own good and definitely too many to try to list. Netflix, torrents and a burner have caused my movie collection to ballon from a paltry 50 or 60 movies to well over 400... As with music, I'll give just about anything a chance and believe me, I do...I've sat through my fair share of stinkers. My favorite genre is horror, anything from B-Movies to classics to staright-up gorefests but I'm especially partial to Asian Extreme and any sort of zombie flick. And while I spend most evenings watching irresponsible teens get beheaded, eviscerated and amputated, I also enjoy dark or over-the-top comedies, anime, sci-fi, action and thrillers. Kung-Fu kicks ass and of course, porn is a major staple of my viewing but I find romantic-comedies to be ridiculous and only enjoy dramas when I'm truly in the mood for substance over style, which is not usually the norm.
Television:
I love television and have a TV in every room of the house. I watch it constantly, if just for something to have on, in the background. I have been compared to Mike Teevee, as I have a wealth of useless knowledge and odd trivia stored in this head of mine. I watch so much TV that listing what I don't watch would be much easier than trying to nail down a list of favorites. And while shows like Robot Chicken, Family Guy, Scrubs, Monk, House, Mythbusters, Venture Brothers, Ninja Warrior, CSI and Attack of the Show all rank highly on my list of things to watch, it should be noted that any sort of reality TV is banned from my house. I also enjoy a good deal of trash TV, making a habit of watching shows like Jerry Springer, on my days off and World's Most "Insert Ridiculous Behaior Here", when nothing else is on. Typically, my TVs are tuned to USA, G4, Cartoon Network, Discovery, Food Network, Spike or Fox.
Books:
I'm not a huge fan of sitting down to read books, my lack of attention span kills the practice, 9 times out of 10. I do do it, though and prefer non-fiction to fictional stories. I like books that have facts and lists in them, books broken into sections (not chapters, mind you) and books that can be read, in part, at anytime...Things I can assimilate rather than be entertained by. Books of artwork, photography or poetry, coffee table books and magazines are always favorites. They are easy to pick up and look at without a large investment of time or concentration, yet can still be enjoyed. Dont get me wrong, though, I love a good mystery, suspense, or horror novel and some classics such as Catcher in the Rye, Dante's Inferno, The Satanic Bible or The Zombie Survival Guide cannot be ignored.
